The peculiar value of these discourses consists in their practical charac ter. They are addressed to the business of life, they display an intimate acquaintance with the human heart, and they unfold the truths of Revelation with such simplicity and power, that they are admirably calculated to move the affections as well as to instruct the mind.

ADVISERS- Experience has shown that there is no more secure or pro fitable way of investing capital than in Life Assurance Com panies. So great, indeed, were the gains of the earlier Com panies, that in the space of a few years only, the various sub divisions of society, such as thej.Medical, Legal, Naval, and Mili tary, have each formed its own peculiar Life Assurance Association, on the well-founded expectation of sharing in their enormous profits. The Freemasons now come into the field ; a class of all others, the most influential by its numbers, and the most united by a general, and it may be said, a sacred principle. Actuated by the spirit, which should influence every Freemason, the Directors of the new Company intend appropriating a share of their profits to such benevolent purposes, connected with Free masonry, as shall be approved by the United Grand Lodge of Eng land, while Past-Masters and Masters of Lodges will be preferred as Agents. With the same views and feelings, a limited number of shares has been set apart for distribution among Lodges, which may desire to become proprietors in their aggregate capacity. It would be absurd to suppose that all these sacrifices are purely disinterested—that no return is expected for them. On the con trary, the Directors look for great and substantial advantages ; but they are such as flow naturally out of their connexion with Freema sonry, and which, from the widely extended ramifications of that body, not through England only, but through the whole of the civilized world, promise fair to Make this the first and most pro fitable establishment of the kind. . But it is not only from its connexion with Freemasonry, that the capitalist is to look for the expected augmentation of profits ; independent of the various new, as well as customary forms of Assurance, which are set forth in the prospectus, the Company will purchase reversionary interests, as well as an nuities, present or deferred, absolute, or contingent. They will also grant annuities. If, too, the prospectus be attentively considered, it must be evident that the very extent of acvm modation afforded to the public, opens up a multitude of pro fitable resources, which though unusual, are perfectly compatible with safety and the general benefit of the Company. This, indeed, is one of the grand features ; by judicious calculations, by an extension of the usual plans, it holds out not only the hope, but the moral, and it might almost be said, the mathe matical certainty of a liberal return to the Shareholder, with advantages to the Assured, which he has a right to expect, but which are not to be obtained in any similar establishment. Upon the Paid .up Capital.—A dividend of 5 per cent. per an num will be made half-yearly. The proprietors' profits will be ascertained at the expiration of five years after the establishment of the Company, and will be divided rateably among the shareholders, and added by way of increase to the paid-up capital, and bear in terest at 5 per cent. from the date of such apportionment. A simi lar division will then be repeated in every successive three years. The extent of liability on each share is restricted to 20/., to which it is limited by the Deed of Association, and the Contract of Assurance.

BETTS'S PATENT BR AN,IIY. The extraordinary patronage with which this favourire-be veracre has been honoured, by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by all classes of the community, since its introduction in 1829, affords of itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits. To this triumphant success must he attributed the fact, that each succeeding year has witnessed the birth and death of some new Bran dy Establishment ; called into life by jealousy of the success o f the PATENT BRANDY, and (loomed to certain failure ns a necessar y consequence ; being totally . unable to produce an article capable of sustaimug a competition with it. The only Establishment of J. 'l. Betts and co. is the Distillery' No. 7, Smithfield Bars, leading to St.. John-stre e t, where .the Patent Brandy may be , bad either pale or coloured, in quantities not less than , Two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imp er i a l Callon, for Cash on delivery. „,1 A Liberal Disconut to the Trade. ATENT •LIQUEUR G _ I N. p The entire absence of purity in quality of that great national beverage English Gin, has lons been a matter of as general, as it is o f jest complaint. This prominent fact has, for years past, pressed T. BETTS and C o. ; and the nu merous applications they have had for this spirit, from the desire of obtaining a pure article, have a t l ength forced upon them the determination of extending to the production of English Gin that S ystem of Distillation which has, for so many years, distinguished their patent Brandy at an essentially pure spirit. Their ar rangements for this purpose are i n a forward state; and by the be ,in„ing of August they hope to he prepared to offer to the Public, Gi n , which shall be as much signalized from other articles pass in; under that name, as their Patent Brandy is, and ever has been, celebrated for its decided sup er i or i ty over every other production to w hich the term Brandy has been applied. They ;NM thus enable the public to substitute a perfectly pure, wholesome, am! pleasant beverage, for one, the qualitie s o f w hi c h , t h oug h frequently at wked, its manufacturers have never attempted to defend. In ma ki n g this announcement, J. T. Betts and Co. look - forward, with entire confidence, to the discrimination of that Public, in g i v ing to the PATENT GIN, which they will thus offer for their adoption, the same marked support and preference that have ever b e en afforded to the Patent Brandy.

Resolved,—That „this Meeting, contemplating the great work,. which yet remains to be done in obtaining the complete abolition of the Apprenticeship system in the Crown Colonies of British Guiana, Trinidad, Mauritius, St. Lucia and Honduras, and in th , . chartered Colonies of Bahamas, Tobago, and Dominica,—in esta blishing the future freedom of the emancipated Negroes on a just, and permanent basis—in securing an impartial administration 0' the law, in strengthening the hands of the friends of the Negroes iu the Colenies,—in the destruction of the spirit of Caste,—and the counteraction of any insidious designs of the Planters to enact laws to coerce labour, - under' a state of freedom, and to enforce subordination to their authority—would urge the friends of lin; inanity to unremitting exertions until they shall have fully secured their great and ultimate object, the entire abolition of Slavery, however modified, or however sanctioned, in all parts of her Ma jesty's Dominions. 4th.—Moved by D. O'CONNELL, Esq., M.P. ; and seconded JOSIAH CONnER, Esq. Resolved,—That while .this Meeting view with feelings °' poignant regret and deep indignation the continuance and exten sion of the system of Slavery among professedly Christian nations, by which man is degraded, justice outraged, and religion dishe naured—they regard with feelings of high admiration the effort , now making, especially in the United States, for its entire abolition. and they assure the Philanthropists of that and other countries, of their warmest sympathy in their sacrifices and sufferings ; of their continued prayers that they may be wise in council, and persevering in effort ; and do tender them their hearty co-operation in prose' cuting to a successful issue, the great and righteous object of the Universal Abolition of Slavery. sth. —Moved by B.

But while these great advantages are held out to the Capitalist the Assured will find that his interests have been attended to with no less care and caution. The unusual extent of the scheme, the rigid economy of its details in practice, and the various new modes introduced into it of investing and augmenting capital, enable the Directors to reduce the premitinis on the several policies to a low rate, adapted to the means and wishes of every class. By a more universal application of the system, it holds out a resource against the loss of income in all its shapes and bearings, it provides a fund for old age—for the clerk, whose salary fails with his office—for the creditor, whose sole security is the life of his debtor—for the husband, whose only income is his wife's fortune—for the de pendent upon an annuity for another's life—for the tenant bound to repair, or to pay fines for renewals—for thosniarents or guar dians who have paid apprentice fees, and such apprentice dies, and it then becomes an object to regain the money so expended—for these, who would create a fund for the education of their children, or who would secure an independence to the younger branches of their family—and in general for the many contingencies against which. a moderate or uncertain income affords no provision. In regard to the payment of the settled premium, every facility will be allowed the assured, either by gradually lessening its yearly amount, according to a given scale, or by at once reducing both the premium and the policy, and considering the overplus, that will then have been paid, as so much premium liquidated in advance. If the assured so chooses the Company will purchase the Policy altogether. It has been said that-mutual Assurance Companies are most ad vantageols to the public. As the present in its first or modern mutual branch is both a mutual and Proprietory Company, the friends and patrons of it will have the opportunity of availing them selves of all the advantages of a mutual Assurance Office without incurring responsibility or being subject to any of its other disad vantages ; nor will the proprietors reserve to themselves any por tion of the profits that may be derived from this branch, although their paid up capital will form a guarantee fund in case of war, or epidemic, or any other of those accidents which would derange, if not ruin, a Society based upon less secure foundations. These are a few only of the advantages to be obtained at a small outlay, and no risk, to those assured with " The Freemasons and General Life Assurance Company." For the details the public are referred to the printed Prospectus, to be had (gratis), at the Company's Office, where attendance is given daily from Ten to Five o'clock.
